That’s all from me tonight. Join Graham Wray tomorrow evening as he brings you Spurs and Leicester’s latest CL outings. If it’s half as good as tonight it’s going to be special. Thanks for joining me and and goodnight!

So it’s a fantastic night for the English teams in Europe tonight with both sides coming from behind to claim famous wins. City now have their destiny in their own hands while Arsenal go through for the 17th time in succession.

And what a goal from Mesut Ozil! The German trickster beats the offside trap, skips round the keeper and then leaves two defenders on their backsides before tapping home. Some comeback from the Gunners!

MAN CITY 3 BARCELONA 1
They have their third goal and it’s a second for Ilkay Gundogan who’s the first to react as Ter Stegen’s touch deflects off Aguero and drops at his feet eight yards out. Surely that’s enough now, right?

MC v BAR: WOODWORK ALERT! It’s a horror pass from John Stones as he plays it back all of 50 yards right into the path of Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan is on it like a flash and tees up Andre Gomes but his fine shot comes back off the bar and City survive. This is breathlees stuff now.

MC v BAR: Forgive me for concentrating on this game but City are knocking at the door again. This time, it’s a low centre from Kolarov that runs across the six-yard box, waiting for someone to tap it home but it evades everyone. I’ll say it again. City need a third goal.

MC v BAR: Looks like Fernando is about to come on for Fernandinho. Meanwhile, there’s a booking for Kolarov as he pushes Rakitic away when he tries to go round him. Bit harsh, especially as Sergio Busquets has got away with about eight tackles so far.

MC v BAR: Raheem Sterling! Why did you take a touch! He’s clean through on the right but his first touch is poor and his eventual shot is from a tight angle and it smacks into the side netting. City are growing in stature here.

The Gunners are all square and somehow you just knew that Olivier Giroud would get on the scoresheet. It’s a pinpoint cross from the right by Aaron Ramsey and the Frenchman gets in ahead of Borjan to glance it home. Think of a typical Giroud goal and that was it.

But hang on a cotton pickin’ minute! CITY ARE LEVEL! Sergio Aguero picks up a stray pass on the edge of the Barca box, feeds Raheem Sterling and he picks out Ilkay Gundogan at the back post with a peach of a pass for a simple tap-in. Liquid football!

MC v BAR: City are under the cosh here. Another goal before the break and that will be that. It doesn’t help that Otamendi seems intent on presenting the ball to Barca at every given opportunity, the clown.

MC v BAR: Otamendi surrenders possession with a brainless ball and in a flash Neymar is bearing down on the City goal. It takes a fine save from Willy Caballero to keep it out at his near post. Moments later, the wee Brazilian goes in the book for an ugly lunge at Raheem Sterling. That’ll teach him.

It’s a frankly awesome break by Barca as Neymar tears up the left wing before laying it on a plate for Lionel Messi and he slams it home with that deadly left foot of his. Great goal but stinking defending from City.

Re-emply Arsene Wenger and then sack him again! It’s two to the hosts as Jonathan Cafu turns provider by whipping one into the front post for Claudiu Keseru to turn home from close range. Great stars Gunners!

MC v BAR: BOOKING! Raheem Sterling stes inside Umtiti but the Barca bruiser seems to take his legs away. Penalty surely! Not a bit of it. It’s a yellow card for simulation for Sterling. Another shocking decision. You get the feeling the ref’s got it in for City.

MC v BAR: Why isn’t that a booking??? Raheem Sterling steals the ball in midfield but his rapid break is stopped in its tracks by Lucas Digne who pulls his shirt and tugs him to the ground. Yellow card, right? Wrong.

MC v BAR: First sign of a break for City as De Bruyne’s clever lobbed ball so nearly puts Sergo Aguero through on goal but he’s a yard offside and he knows it, even though he wags his finger at the lino…

So the team are in the tunnels in both Manchester and Sofia and once they’ve come out (of the tunnel that is, not revealed some hitherto unknown collective sexuality), we’ll only have to suffer the bloody Champions League ‘anthem’ and we’ll be good to go…

You can relax now. It was just Pep’s pre-match toast burning. So we’re just 75 minutes away from kick-off in both Manchester and, indeed, Sofia. Should be a cracking evening – as long as they stay away from the toaster…
